Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
This was the best included breakfast we have ever had. Food was fresh and had many options in both hot and cold offerings. I loved that it was treated like a restaurant where they found you a table and chairs. The staff was plentiful and so very friendly. The hotel was within easy waking distance ...

Hilton San Francisco Financial District
Very comfortable beds. Walls are pretty thin as we heard neighbors having basic conversations. Awesome location and wonderful employees. Would absolutely stay again.

For the cost of the breakfast I would have liked to have a bigger spread. The limited menu was not worth the price tag.
